Christopher Dwight-a soldier and his wife Jenifer Ann Foust were arrested for possession of steroid. The search in their home revealed manuals on how to prepare steroids along with other steroids. Underground labs have increased in number in the last few years and it is amazing how much who are considered law enforcement are being involved in it. A few months ago a police officer was arrested and charged with dealing with steroids and distributing syringes at the same time. The danger of using steroids is one thing-the use of syringes presents the danger of sharing and diseases that can be passed from one person to the other. Then of course there is the danger of syringes not being used in the correct manner, which can lead to death in some instances.
Both Christopher and his wife are being charged with the intent to sell and deliver drugs and being in possession of steroids in their home. Anabolic steroids are linked with many adverse side effects; especially those that aromatize. While users make use of them to increase their muscle mass and energy, they will cause side effects like heart enlargement and high blood pressure. With correct usage, steroids can cause a lot of changes in the physique of the user, improving his strength and muscle mass, which will mean a better output when it comes to participation in whatever sport he is part of. Back to use in the right proportions, even though this is the case, there is never a way of ensuring that one is using them in the right proportions, now that even kids are making use of steroids to improve their physiques. It is only when steroids are used for medical purposes that they can be said to be used in the right proportions-having been prescribed by a medical practitioner and so forth. Steroids are used for the treatment of diseases that bring about muscle wasting as a consequence. Some of these diseases include HIV and anemia. The latter is also because steroids stimulate the increase in the number of red blood cells, which is a great way of managing anemia
When it comes to the side effects however, one cannot dispute the fact that underground preparation and use of steroids do not follow any standards and this causes a lot of danger to the users themselves. Aromatization; the process of change of testosterone to estrogen brings a lot of side effects like gynecomastia in men and Virilization in women. Gynecomastia will make a man develop breasts and Virilization will make a woman to develop physiological features that will make him look like a man. The former is irreversible except by surgery, and the latter is even worse as the deepening of the voice in women does not have any reverse. Aggression is both positive and negative and there is also the fact that it will have a negative effect on the sexual performance of the users.
